A Paradoxical Approach to Collaborative Innovation

Nigeria Innovation Summit - Building a Culture of Innovation

A pleasure to be invited to speak at the next Nigeria Innovation Summit, Building a Culture of Innovation.

Through the topic "A Paradoxical Approach to Collaborative Innovation", we'll unpack the unspoken roadblocks that hinder collaborative innovation -
beyond communication, collaboration or conflict management challenges.

When organisations and companies embrace this paradoxical approach, they become able to:
🔹 Work on core solutions that break the failure patterns that seem to repeat themselves over and over again
🔹 Lay the foundational elements that allow them to sustain and achieve long-term innovation success, on a national and global scale

These specific unspoken roadblocks are often forgotten during innovation cycles.

Included: case-studies that demonstrate the power of this paradoxical approach.

Stella BIDA, Executive Leadership Consultant & Jessica SIMPSON Interview, Billion Dollar Brand Builder

Interviewing Billion Dollar Business Tycoon, Jessica Simpson (Los Angeles, USA - Live event, +2,500 people)

Topic: Building Your Brand with Authenticity

This video is an extract of a conversation between Stella Bida and Billion-Dollar brand builder Jessica Simpson. It is focused on how to build and activate your Personal Brand, through Self-Branding - with authenticity.

Jessica Simpson: "I think that the most important thing is to really know what you love, and know what your focus is, and have that mission statement for what you are trying to brand. I think it's very important when you do self branding to really have to know yourself, but also be willing to evolve with time. Everybody's opinion about you is always changing, but your opinion about yourself can always remain the same.
I think that's always important for anybody business minded to stay themselves."

The interview was done live, in front of an audience of 2,500 entrepreneurs, from +80 countries, gathered together during a business and wealth event.

Other inspiring leaders such as JT Foxx, Wealth and Business coach - A-List celebrities such as Mel Gibson, Michael Douglas, Brooke Shields - Business Tycoons such as Steve Wozniak (co-founder of Apple with Steve Jobs) were sharing words of inspiration for a successful entrepreneurial journey.
